Dreadline Express is a 1st-person, psychological horror metroidbrainia set aboard the last human train. Unravel mysteries of the enigmatic train, face strange passengers, and shape your path using a unique card-based mechanic that gives you full narrative control. This is no longer our world.

Unravel the mysteries of the last human train…

Steel wheels of the last human train cut through the scars of devastated Earth. A handful of last survivors remain on board. Behind every door lies a mystery and every passenger has a story to tell. Be clever, collect all the pieces of the narrative puzzle, and solve the grand mystery before all that remains fades away forever.

Be Smart

Explore the final moving relic of a fallen civilization in any way you like. Make the passengers your allies or enemies. Overcome obstacles with brute force or tactics. There is never only one right answer — this is your story. Just remember. You are being watched.

Leverage the unique, card based narrative mechanic

The cards are a testament to what you’ve achieved. Browse your collection, find connections, and plot your plans on the pages of the card album. Every new card opens up new possibilities and paves the way forward. Fill the entire album to fully understand the melancholy tale of the last human train.
